MANCHESTER BROTHERHOOD 
Byron P. Reep ENTERTAINED MeEmM- 
BERS OF LOCAL ORGANIZATION 
WitH LEecturE oN Porto 
Rico. 
Byron P. Reed, the Boston lawyer, 
who addressed the members of the 
Manchester Brotherhood on a stormy 
Monday evening last winter on the 
wonders of Porto Rico, repeated his 
lecture on Monday evening of this 
week before a much larger audience 
and used the stereopticon to illutrate 
the talk. His address was entertain- 
ing and instructive to-a marked de- 
gree above the ordinary. He gave the 
history of the American island pos- 
session in a clever way, intermingling 
many anecdotes of native origin. His 
description of various scenes about 
the island was brightened by bits of 
personal experience during his five 
years as an instructor in the univer- 
sity at Ponce. 
At the conclusion of his talk he 
played a native dance and sang songs 
relating to the island, written in 
English, but with the melody resemb- 
ling that of the favorite native airs. 
One of the songs is now on the press, 
about to be published, and was evi- 
dently of his own composition. — It 
was a charming melody with a wierd 
strain running, through it suggestive 
of tropical moonlit waters. Mr. Reed 
is a very versatile entertainer and has 
promised to bring to Manchester at 
some future time his collection of na- 
tive string instruments to play the na- 
‘ive music for the Brotherhood. Ice 
cream was served after the meeting.
